Use Jquery with Smarty Template Engine

4:11 pm in Jquery, PHP by emran

Smarty is the template engine which is fast and nicely design for php programmers. Smarty makes your PHP code cleaner and promotes the V in MVC.

Jquery is the another lightweight JavaScript Library for rapid web development.

Anyway, do you see the problem that might arise when you try to embed your jQuery code or any other javascript library (like Prototype, MooTools, Extjs, etc.) that uses $ as a function name in the ?

The solution:
Use Smarty’s {literal}…{/literal} directives to tell Smarty parsing engine that it should not interpret the code within the block. Smarty will not parse the code which is inside of literal block.

Example:

User
<script type=”text/javascript”>// <![CDATA[
{literal}
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".clazz").css("color", "red");
});
{/literal}
// ]]></script>

User Information:

Name: {$name}
